I Loathe to Wash Windows!

I few years back, when the window washers were in my office I asked, “What do you use to get the windows so clean?”



And he gave me his secret little recipe.


I was shocked that it was so simple and have been using it every sense.



You can tell by the “cleanliness” of this window how much I loathe washing windows!
Now look at it after I used my special formula

Awww…. I just hope it doesn’t rain for a while! Note: all those tiny dots you see are actually paint splatter, leftover from my good 'ole builder, that I am to lazy to scrap off.


Here is what I use



Best{est} Window Cleaner Ever

1 part ammonia –to-
10 parts water – and-
2 drops Dawn dishwashing soap




It works great in a bucket with a squeegee and also in a spray bottle for touch ups.

Happy window washing to you all!

  2. Ugh. I know what you mean about windows. I don't really "mind" washing them, but I need to do some paint scraping also and yeah, don't want to go there. (We won't mention the fact that I can't reach the tops of the windows)

  4. I like using white vinegar and fine microfiber cloths. No ammonia smell and streak-free clean!

  5. I just gave our windows a once yearly washing and just used a little dish soap and water. I did have to make sure I wiped the windows with a dry cloth to avoid any streaks. Next time I'll try your formula.
    Thanks!
